🇺🇸 Traitor, Con-man, Insurrectionist, Sexual Predator, Convicted Felon and All-time Weirdo : The Trump Thread

[blueharvest]

New Trump is a lot like old Trump. Will 2016 tactics work in 2024?

Some Republicans worry Trump's undisciplined side has become more pronounced as he struggles to define Harris and lashes out with personal attacks.

‘Maybe I’ve gotten worse’: Trump’s attempt at discipline unravels

The Trump campaign has been praised as tighter – but when Harris became the opponent, it lost control of its candidate

He is not okay.

He hasn't been okay for a while.

So, my wife is a therapist and I had a pretty in depth discussion with her about Trump's behavior and what it all meant. To put it in a nutshell, she says he's developmentally challenged and engages in "Magical Thinking". This is common among children who are still trying to make sense of a world in which things like right, wrong, and what is and isn't real is still being worked out. Basically very young people will just say things that they want to be true and later work out rather it's the case or not. They are essentially testing the world to make sense of it.

She says that for a grown man to engage in this kind of behavior is unusual. This is something that most people have grown out of for many years. Further, this kind of thinking and speaking in adults is often accompanied by self centeredness as experienced by a child and sociopathic behavior.

Kinda makes sense when I think of it in those terms.

I mean, he literally cannot understand someone giving up power for a greater good. His narcissism and greed prevent him from understanding Biden did what he did. Combined with his need to actually beat Biden to soothe his ego, and probably less mental agility due to his age, you get a very entertaining mess.

Rather sad and funny at the same time. It's somewhat similar to the storyline in The Lord of the Rings. Sauron desired power and order and his ultimate defeat was because he couldn't understand that someone wouldn't want what he wanted. It never entered his mind that someone wouldn't want to take his place and would want what's best for others.

I hope a President Harris never plays golf. Literally do any other sporting activity.

Reminds me of this quote from the Silmarillion:

And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.

Ah.....cool.....always like a Tolkien reference. From the Ainulindale IIRC.
